<p>You need to talk to the financial aid officers at your choices as well as the department heads and find out what funding there is for your program. Few school meet need fully, and even fewer meet full need for transfer students. Also some special programs are money makers and very little in scholarships and aid are designated for them since they can easily fill those seats with qualified full pays. But some special programs have designated funds for them. To find out which ones fall in which categories, you have to research each school. You can also ask how PELL and other government money eligibility works in such programs.</p>
